Here's a poster pull-quote: "'The Whisper Man': It's fine, I guess!" In fact, as far as Netflix original movies go, I think you could even say "The Whisper Man" is slightly above-average. The streaming service has become infamous for pumping out forgettable junk designed to play in the background as people scroll through their phones, and "The Whisper Man" rises above that ... ever-so-slightly. This is mostly due to the work of director James Ashcroft, who tries his damndest to inject some menace and style into a fairly rote thriller. Ashcroft directed the extremely bleak horror-thriller "Coming Home in the Dark" as well as the surprisingly nasty "The Rule of Jenny Pen,

Two of Dolly Parton’s most beloved movies are heading back to the big screen following the country music icon’s death on Tuesday. Beginning on Friday, Aug. 28, AMC Theatres will offer special presentations of “Steel Magnolias” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” in approximately 200 locations across the U.S., including Parton’s home state of Tennessee. Participating theatres will offer two matinee screenings daily until Sept. 2 — including one showing of each title — at AMC Fan Faves value pricing. Parton died Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer. She was 80. While she is best known as the queen of country music — selling more than 100 million records and taking home 11 Grammy Awards — the Nashville legend also made a significant impact in Hollywood. Parton made her film acting debut in 1980’s “9 to 5,” starring alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as Southern office secretary Doralee Rhodes. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for acting,

AMC Theatres is bidding farewell to one of the queens of country music. The exhibition giant will screen two of Dolly Parton’s most famous films, “Steel Magnolias” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” to honor the late singer, songwriter, and actress, who died this week at the age of 80. AMC said it will screen the films in approximately 200 locations across the U.S. beginning on Friday, Aug. 28 and continuing through Wednesday, Sept. 2. The venues will include AMC cinemas throughout Parton’s home state of Tennessee. AMC Theatres said that wherever and whenever possible, the company will offer two matinee screenings daily, including one showing of each title. “Steel Magnolias” was an Oscar-nominated drama that featured Parton as part of an ensemble of heavyweight actresses that included Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, and Daryl Hannah. It was directed by Herbert Ross and was adapted from Robert Harling

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Westerns have remained an enduring part of the cinematic landscape for decades. While we're pretty far removed from the genre's peak popularity, it remains a key vehicle for storytelling. Shows like "Yellowstone" have helped revive the genre for modern audiences in some ways. But Westerns have rarely been big box office draws in the blockbuster sense. Generally, they represent a nice return on a smaller investment, not unlike horror. What's strange, though, is that one of the genre's highest-grossing movies is also a notorious box office bomb. The movie in question is "The Lone Ranger," which became one of Disney's

The long, winding road of “Coyote vs. Acme,” the latest in a long line of live-action films based on the “Looney Tunes” characters, is about as complex and tangled as the conspiracy Wile E. Coyote and his allies spend the film’s runtime unpacking. Shot from March to May 2022 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, “Coyote vs. Acme” was shelved by Warner Bros. the following year for the purposes of obtaining a tax write-off, one of many projects — most infamously a “Batgirl” movie — to be canned by David Zaslav’s company before it ever received a real release. Warner Bros. eventually reversed the decision, but still wouldn’t distribute the movie. So, for two years, before Ketchup Entertainment finally acquired it in March 2025, the team behind the film, a charming courtroom comedy mixing live-action with animation, had no idea if their work would ever actually be seen. “I heard about the news

Andrea Eastman, the casting director for “The Godfather” and former Hollywood agent, died on Wednesday at her home in Santa Barbara. She was 86. Entering the film industry at a time when it was dominated by men, Eastman became one of Hollywood’s first female “superagents,” rising to senior vice president at International Creative Management and serving as an agent at Creative Management Associates and International Famous Agency. Eastman started out working in casting, and was instrumental in casting and developing some of the most pivotal films of the “New Hollywood” movement. When Paramount executives were against casting then-unknown actor Al Pacino in “The Godfather,” Eastman worked alongside Francis Ford Coppola to secure Pacino for the role of Michael Corleone while also negotiating to secure James Caan for the role of Sonny. Her contributions to this film are now recognized in the archives of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. She

Our loss of some luminaries of stage and screen has tragically continued this week with the passing of actor Tim Curry. As is usually the case when a legend leaves us, people go back over their body of work and debate which performances stand out most, which are still underseen or underrated, which should be considered the best, and so on. Curry's filmography is especially tricky for this, as his appearances in film and television are intimidatingly great (to say nothing of his stage work or numerous credits as a voice actor). The man helped make "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" iconic, worked with iconoclastic directors such as Allan Moyle and Ridley Scott,

Are you ready for "Avengers: Doomsday" and the arrival of Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Once upon a time, marathoning the franchise to prepare for the latest crossover event film was a fairly simple proposition. But almost 20 years into this franchise, there's something to be said for knowing which previous titles to keep fresh in our memories, and which ones we can safely assume aren't essential to the experience. Not too long ago, Marvel came right out and offered a cheat sheet of 15 movies and shows to watch ahead of "Doomsday." Now, directors Joe and Anthony Russo are making it even more straightforward by
